Adam P33A Active Nearfield Monitor

P33A Active Nearfield Monitor description:

The Adam P33A 3 way Active Nearfield Monitors are designed for applications where deeper bass and louder volumes are needed, ideally suited for project studios as well as professional recording and broadcast facilities.

The Adam P33A is an excellent choice for recording enthusiasts who want the advantages of ADAM's unique mirrored S3A design at a lower price point. Like the S3A, one woofer acts as a full-range driver with the second woofer joining it only below 150Hz. This unusual approach effectively doubles the area and power of the woofer when it needs to respond to deeper frequencies, resulting in an exceptional low end without compromising midrange performance. The P33A is a shielded near/midfield monitor and has three 100W amplifiers that deliver outstanding dynamic performance. It can be used either horizontally or vertically, so that very flexible positioning within the studio is possible. Featuring superb imaging as a result of ADAM’s proprietary A.R.T. (Accelerated Ribbon Technology) folded ribbon tweeter, the P33A is ideally suited for project studios as well as professional recording and broadcast facilities. The tweeter is the same in all Adam monitors, starting with the P11-A near field monitor and ending with the S7-A Main Monitors. You get the same superior resolution above 2 kHz from these monitors that sets all Adam loud speakers apart from their competitors and by applying moderate equalization to the low end nearly an additional octave in bass response is achieved compared with a passive system. The P-33A woofers and tweeter are each powered by separate 100W RMS amplifiers and are actively crossed over at 150 Hz/1.8 kHz. The system's frequency-response has highs extending all the way to 35 kHz and lows down to 34 Hz (±3 dB). Tweeter gain can be adjusted 4 dB up or down with a pot on the rear panel. Also found on the back of the P33-A are contour controls (+/- 6 dB) for high- and low-shelf filters at 6 kHz and 150 Hz, respectively. The balanced analog input is on a balanced XLR connector.
